Here's the story: Several automotively inclined fellas from Indiana decide they want to go down to Florida and try their hand at NASCAR. The Permatex Sportsman series, to be specific. They aquire a discarded Holman Moody chassis, find a 64 junkyard T_Bird, buy a 427 Ford motor, and get the a body shop and a full service garage to sponsor and help out. Small time budget, but skilled and determined to make this happen. Here is the result.

:) Super slick, super Slim.
And, I have to tell you - DX - my all time favorite of all the oil companies and their logos. First time I ever heard of it, was on an old dirt modified coupe -- sponsored by " Wimpy's DX, 3rd at Auction, Memphis. " The number on it might have been 4Q. Have forgotten the driver, but it just might have been " Jolly " John Fox. Probably 1956.
Great model, Slim.
